DR. SHARI L. ROGERS
PRODUCER / DIRECTOR
Dr. Shari L. Rogers is a Clinical Psychologist, and activist whose work encompasses educational programs, public speaking, and event development combining film, music, and art as a philanthropic tool. All her efforts are motivated by the desire to help others find the "cup of honey" contained in their souls, and to inspire them to share it with the world.
Dr. Rogers has spearheaded many initiatives to raise public consciousness on the issues of genocide, racism, and oppression through the idea that goodness is the best weapon against hatred. She is the Founding Director of Spill the Honey Foundation, a Michigan-based 501(c)(3) organization committed to promoting human dignity as well as advancing public knowledge of the Holocaust and the Civil Rights Movement. Through artistic educational programs, sponsored initiatives, and strategic partnerships, Spill the Honey advances cultural tolerance, draws attention to contemporary injustices, and encourages young people to become compassionate, global citizens.
Dr. Rogers is also the Producer and director of the award-winning documentary "Shared Legacies" The African American Jewish Civil Rights Alliance". This film links the work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with the lessons learned from The Holocaust and serves as evidence to the unexplored, yet critical parts of United States History. The film has gained national recognition and praise because of its power to build strong interfaith coalitions. The film opened the 20th Anniversary of the the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival in front of 2,500 attendees and its in compelling format has inspired film festivals, synagogues, Black churches, peace-building organizations, college campuses, high schools, and business corporations across the world to engage in greater relationship building. Dr. Rogers and her film have touched many people and organizations. A few include the NAACP, Black Business Association in Los Angeles, Urban League, Morehouse College, The University of Michigan, Consulate General of Israel to the Southeast, JCPA, Congressional Black Caucus, World Jewish Congress, Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Chicago Women Take Action, and the United Nations.
Dr. Rogers works closely with Dr. Clarence B. Jones by contributing to his efforts to restore, highlight, and reinvigorate the historic coalition/relationship that had existed between The African American and Jewish communities, especially to inspire young leaders today about the power of coalition building.
To build on this mission of inspiring young leaders today, she contacted Blake Weissman, a graduate of Business Administration at the University of Michigan, to conduct a pilot online webinar with key leaders such as Dr. Clarence B. Jones and Ambassador David Saperstein. The event went so well that one graduate student in the audience who works for the Consulate General of Israel to the Southeast offered to partner with Spill the Honey to combat antisemitism and racism in the Southeast. One of the key schools Spill the Honey worked with was Morehouse College, the alma mater of Dr. King. Spill the Honey Foundation, the Consulate General of Israel to the Southeast, and Morehouse College created an event to showcase the passion professional athletes, educators, congresspeople, social justice warriors, politicians, musicians, and businesspeople have towards Black-Jewish relations. The University of Michigan and Morehouse students took this fast traction Spill the Honey was gaining to establish a national club that organizes screenings, dinners, and relationship building events. The student team now has already worked with Indiana University, Morehouse College, Michigan State University, The Ohio State University, University of North Carolina Wilmington, Queens College, and many more across the nation to spread further awareness towards this cause on college campuses.
Dr. Rogers has been featured in the Gazelle, Atlanta Jewish Times, AJC, Huffington Post, Jewish Journal, University of Michigan Daily, Southern Jewish Life Magazine, The Forward, and The Independent. The Independent mentioned about Dr. Rogers that, "In years to come the Rogers name is sure to identify the learned intellectual who put together the first doc on how Black and Jewish leaders formed and expanded a coalition of mutual interdependence".

How many times have you been driving around a parking lot and see someone who double parked? Seriously? Why do people do this? It literally takes 2 seconds to park correctly, so there's really no excuse to take up two parking spaces. It's rude and inconsiderate for others. Anyways, in this video we see an angry Jeep owner who decides they're going to block in a Nissan who double parked. This may or may not be fake, but regardless it's still pretty funny!
When the Jeep decides to block in the double parked Nissan, they get REALLY close to their car. Obviously they were doing this so they could block the driver from getting in the drivers side door so they would be forced to crawl through the passenger side. However when the owner of the Nissan comes out of the store, this is when things get interesting.
The driver of the Nissan sees what just has happened to his car and is probably not too happy about the Jeep parking so close. He then walks around the Jeep to fully inspect what has happened. But then, to everyone's surprise, the Nissan owner gets in on the "passenger" side and drives away! Yep, it's a right side drive car! That was a fail for the Jeep owner! What do you think about this?


A coming-of-age story with a real difference as country-boy Franz is overwhelmed by both passion and reason after his move to the city. This is a tragic book because the city is Vienna and the year 1938, but it is also the story of Franz's personal triumph told with compassion and understated humour. Highly recommended.
Communists' and unconventional thinkers' subversive assets were being seized - but wasn't that only fair? Jewish people's property was being confiscated and their shops closed and managed by upright citizens - but weren't these just long overdue measures ... in our lovely city of Vienna? In our tolerant state of Austria so beloved of God?

Women in Taraba seek justice for rape victims, urge exposure of culprits
By Charles Akpeji, Jalingo
13 December 2019 | 4:15 am
Women took to the streets of Jalingo, Taraba State yesterday to protest against violence on women and girls, especially victims of rape and all forms of sexual assault in the state.
Women protesting against rape and sexual assaults in Jalingo, Taraba State…yesterday.
Insisting that the law and authorities have failed to protect women from sexual assaults and other related violence, the protesters said they decided to expose the crime by speaking up on what they described as a crime against humanity.
"We will no longer keep silent in the face of violence by taking the bull by the horn in coming out en-mass to speak for the voiceless among us," they said.
The women, who were led by the Taraba First Lady, Ann Ishaku, stressed the need for all relevant authorities to intervene by putting an end to gender-based violence, stressing that the need to speak up against sexual abuses could no longer be overstretched.
The protesting women, who left their local government areas to converge on Jalingo, frowned at the incessant violence against women and girls in the state and entire country.
Dressed in orange colour attires and carrying placards with various inscriptions such as: "Break The Silence, Sex Without Consent Is Rape; Good Men Should Stand Up And Get Involved; Stop Gender Discrimination and Say No To Violence Against Women And Girls, among others, they admonished victims of rape and other related violence to speak up by breaking their silence.
Activities marking the 16-day demonstration, which began with the empowerment of women and girls in Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps across the state, also saw the training of no fewer than 136 women in different vocations.
During the peaceful protests, which began from the state House of Assembly and terminated at Government House, Jalingo, the women presented their letter of protest to the leadership of the House, urging the lawmakers to, as a matter of urgency, sign the Child Rights Act for immediate domestication in the state.
Urging members to join hands with the women to curb violence against women, they said the need for members to ensure domestication of the Child Rights Act, which had since been passed into law, had become necessary.
The First Lady, who said their focus was to make life more comfortable for women, lamented that, "Rape and sexual violence is on the increase, hence the need for us to rise up and end it."
Determined to use her Hope Afresh Foundation to end assaults on women and girls, she advocated that they should come together and fight the menace, adding, "So that rape now ravaging our society would be eliminated."

Q: How to compare two strings? I am working with Eclipse and I am facing a problem that I don't know how to solve! I have a function with one of its parameters being a string. I made a parameter that I gave it a string. Now I try to compare the two strings with an if statement, and the two strings have the same value, but the if statement didn't succeed! Even though I am checking the code with a debugger and I am going step by step, and I can see that r_name and check_name both have the same string! What I have done:
v_function(CSystem *sss, char *r_name) {
  char *check_name = (((sss)->rarray)->name);// here check_name=str_vv

  printf("check_name=%s\n",check_name);      //it prints check_name=str_vv
  printf("r_name=%s\n",r_name);              //it prints r_name=str_vv

  if(!strcmp(check_name,r_name)){            //if statement is not working !!!
     // do something
  }
}

Yes, I checked in the debugger and it doesn't enter the if statement. I tried to do: if(check_name==r_name) also, but the same exact problem happens when I step in the debugger.
_Does this matter? In the value window (which appears when I use the debugger) the two parameters have the following values: for r_name   the value is: 0x40a039 "str_vv", and for check_name  the value is :  0x40a02f "str_vv". I assume the numbers here are the address, because as I said the printf prints the same exact string "str_vv" ... but does the address shown in the value window of the debugger matter?

Edgar Allan Poe is known for his dark, macabre writing. We're not sure if this is a case of life imitating art or vice versa, but Poe's personal life was similarly tragic. The famed poet died at the young age of 40 on October 7, 1849, and how it happened sounds like a page from one of his tales: It remains a mystery.
The timeline of Poe's life can be described by the deaths of people around him. His mother passed away when he was two, at which point the three Poe children were separated. Poe's first love died when he was 15, and his foster mother passed when he was 20. Later in life, his first wife (who was also — oh no — his first cousin) died at the age of 24 (Poe was 37).
The tragedy unfortunately extended to his academic endeavors too (because of course it did). After dropping out of high school, Poe was expelled from West Point Military Academy on charges of gross neglect of duty and disobedience of orders. This instance led his foster father to kick him out of the house, and other family members and friends to avoid Poe on his return. It didn't help that Poe's sweetheart, Elmira Royster, got engaged while Poe was away. With only a year of higher education, Poe was close to unemployable.
Poe pursued writing, though early efforts to publish a book drained his funds. Poe took a job as an editor at the Southern Literary Messenger in Richmond, Virginia, and was fired twice in the process. (The first time, it was because he was drunk at work. His controversial fiction and harsh book reviews sold papers, however, so he was invited back as long as he promised good behavior.) He took a few more editorial jobs while supplementing his income with lectures and public readings. At long last, he hit the big time when "The Raven" brought him international fame. Still, it allegedly earned the poet just 15 lonely bucks. Cue yet another sad violin.
On October 7, 1849, Poe died while passing through Baltimore. The circumstances around his death were puzzling and worrying, casting a mysterious shadow on his cause of death.
Here's what we do know: Poe was traveling to Philadelphia for an editing job. On October 3, Joseph W. Walker, a compositor for the Baltimore Sun, found Poe lying in a gutter outside Gunner's Hall in Baltimore. Poe was found wearing ill-fitting secondhand clothes, acting delirious and barely conscious.
The official cause of death was listed as "congestion of the brain," which is supposedly a euphemism for alcohol poisoning. But there are plenty of strange pieces to the puzzle that point to foul play. Weird clothes? Reynolds?! Drinking himself to death just days before he was going to marry Royster?
One popular theory explaining what happened to Poe is a horrifying thing called "cooping." This is a method of voter fraud carried out by gangs in the 19th century where a victim — usually a homeless person or someone who appeared down on their luck — was kidnapped, drugged, disguised, and forced to vote for a specific candidate multiple times under different identities. No one knows for sure, but this theory would explain the costume change, as well as the fact that Poe was found just outside a polling place ... on a day citywide elections were held in Baltimore.

Lee Major is an American film, television, and voice actor. He is best known for his portrayal of several iconic characters, including Heath Barkley in the American television Western series "The Big Valley" and "Colonel Steve Austin" in the American television science fiction action series "The Six Million Dollar Man." Major is a native of the state of Texas. After losing his mother when he was two years old and being born in Wyandotte, Michigan, he was taken in by his uncle and aunt on his father's side and nurtured by them.
His childhood desire was to become a football coach, but a serious injury he sustained while playing for his university put an end to that ambition. Lee Majors began his acting career at the age of 25 after beginning his professional life as a park and recreation director in Los Angeles after his graduation from college. He took the stage name Les Majors in honours of Johnny Majors, a football great who was a hero to him throughout his boyhood. As time went on, he established himself as a recognizable figure and amassed a significant amount of success as a result of his participation in a variety of television shows and feature films. In addition to that, he went on to provide the voices for a number of characters in animated television programmed as well as video games.
Harvey Lee Year gave birth to Lee Majors on April 23, 1939, in Wyandotte, Michigan, in the United States of America. His father, Carl Year, worked as a manual worker and died away in the line of duty before Lee was born. His mother, Alice Year, was a stay-at-home mother who unfortunately went suddenly in a car accident before he became two years old. Lee was taken in and raised by his paternal uncle and aunt, Harvey Year and Mildred Pore, when he became an orphan before the age of two. They took him to their house in Middlesboro, which is located in the state of Kentucky.
When he finally learned the truth about his adoption when he was well into his teenage years, he vowed to do all in his power to make his birth parents pleased. When he was younger, one of his childhood dreams was to work with youth football. Middlesboro High School was the first school where he participated on the football squad for the school. Following his graduation in 1957, he went on to gain a scholarship to attend "Indiana University," where he resumed his football career.
In 1959, he made the move to Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, where he was involved in a game that resulted in a catastrophic back injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down for a period of several weeks. This put a stop to any possibility of his playing football in the future. In 1962, he received his degree from "Eastern Kentucky" University, where he had majored in both history and physical education. In subsequent years, the institution awarded him an honorary degree, which he received in 2006.
He attended the 'Pioneer Playhouse in Danville, Kentucky, where he began to acquire an interest in acting and went on to participate in plays there. After graduating from college, he was offered an opportunity to play with the St. Louis Cardinals. On the other hand, he made the decision to go to Los Angeles and find employment in the field of park and recreation administration there.
While in Los Angeles, he made the acquaintance of a number of performers and others working in the business, including agent Dick Clayton. In order to prepare himself for a future in the entertainment industry, he spent a year studying acting at Clayton's acting school and also attended MGM's Estelle Harman's acting school. He took the stage name "Lee Majors" in honours of Johnny Majors, a football great who had been his hero since he was a boy.
In the horror movie 'Strait-Jacket,' which was released in 1964, Lee Majors played his debut part, although he was not recognised for it. His first appearance for which he was given credit was in an episode of "Unsmoked" in the year 1965. Additionally, he was featured in an episode of "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour: The Monkey's Paw – A Retelling," in which he had a role.
His major break came in 1965 when he was given a part in the popular western series 'The Big Valley' that was shown on ABC (1965-1969). Within the context of the performance, he acted out the part of Heath Barkley. In the meanwhile, he had a role in the film "Will Penny," starring Charlton Hesston, which was released in 1967.
In 1969, he starred as Andy Crocker in a television movie titled "The Ballad of Andy Crocker," which was shown on television. In the same year, he was also offered an opportunity to appear in the film "Midnight Cowboy," which he was forced to turn down since "The Big Valley" was given another season order. He had a role in William Wyler's last film, titled "The Liberation of L.B. Jones," which was released in 1970. In the most recent season of 'The Virginian,' he was also a guest star.

SiriusXM's Essential streaming service doesn't need car satellite radios
It costs $8 a month after a three-month testing period that'll set you back $1.

SiriusXM Essential
SiriusXM is hoping to carve a place for itself on your phones and smart speakers. The company mostly associated with in-vehicle entertainment has launched a purely online streaming service called SiriusXM Essential. It'll set you back $8 a month -- with a three-month testing period that costs $1 -- and doesn't need a compatible car satellite radio to work.
An Essential subscription also gives you access to over 200 channels, including all the network's musical programming, along with comedy, news and sports shows. However, the plan doesn't come with Howard Stern's, the NBA, NHL and NCAA channels. According to Variety, you'll have to wait for the $13 Premier Streaming plan to come out in mid-May if you want access to those, as well.
Matt Epstein, the company's VP of marketing, told the publication that SiriusXM introduced Essential to attract younger audiences. Particularly those who might not own cars, those who don't drive nearly often or long enough to justify a full subscription and those who haven't gotten the chance to try SiriusXM before. "They don't spend a long time driving to make it worthwhile," he said, adding that "a lot of people just don't know about [SiriusXM]."
In addition, the broadcasting company wants to lure more subscribers who want a cheaper option for in-home listening. Epstein said that the company has "seen a massive increase in in-home listening" over the past year, most likely after SiriusXM gave Echo owners three months of free access.

Just a disclaimer - I am very, very new with R, and I am teaching myself (or rather Google is teaching me) so apologies if my questions are really naive.
I have a household level data which I converted to individual level. The long and the short of it is that created lots of NAs. The data looks something like this:
snapshot of data
I want the households with the same code to have the same province and region, not NA. The data is like this because there is more than one individual in one household (obviously). The actual data is much bigger than this.
Would appreciate any help! I can give more info as required.
Best,
Asma

A: You want something like:
dataframe$Z <- ifelse(is.na(dataframe$X), dataframe$Y, dataframe$X)

Where dataframe is the data-frame in question; X is the column containing some NA values; Y is the column to fall-back to; and Z is the column containing the coalesced result

A: You can try this looping method:
# in initialize a new data frame
data2 = NULL
codes = unique(data$hhcode)

for(i in 1:length(codes)){
  # subset data by hhcode
  data1 = data[data$hhcode == codes[i],]

  # as long as you only have one unique region per code
  # you can pull out the unique factor and then set all
  # region variable for a single code
  region = data1$region[is.na(data1$region) == F]
  data1$region = region

  # do the same for province
  province = data1$province[is.na(data1$province ) == F]
  data1$province = province

  #bind data to a new data frame
  data2 = rbind(data2,data1)
}

head(data2)
data2[1:30,]

A: So as a rooky you could use a simple for loop. Later on better use sthg from apply().
Step 1)
Create the dataset.
"sdgfsdh" is right the usage of dput(head(dataframe, 10)) by the OP would have been better. However for convenience for a R-Rooky.
Recreate the dataset:
df = data.frame(hhcode = c(rep(101010101, 5), rep(101010102, 5), rep(101010103, 5)),
                province = c(rep(c(rep(NA, 4), "punjab"), 2), c(rep(NA, 4), "sindh")),
                region = rep(c(rep(NA, 4), "urban"), 3))

2)
Replace the NA´s.
For each row we want to replace the second and third column. Or with other words: We want to replace every column, except for the first one. We can exclude columns if we write a minus in front of the index: df[, -1].
Now we want to replace the NAs by the rows a) that do not obtain NAs for "region" and "province", but b) share the same hhcode value.
a) How do we identify the rows, that do not obtain NAs? Use na.omit(df).
b) Lets say the df$hhcode is stored in a variable called hhcode, then we want the rows where df$hhcode is equal to hhcode --> df$hhcode == hcode. (note that which() gives us the index of the "TRUE" cases in  df$hhcode == hcode.
Finally, we want to repeat that for every unique hhcode that exists. The important words in this sentence are: "for" and "unique".
In your dataset I can identify groups that share the same "hhcode". The hhcode we can access by df$hhcode. To get all unique hhcode we use unique(df$hhcode).
So we loop through every element in unique(df$hhcode) and replace the NAs =).
for(hhcode in unique(df$hhcode)){
  df[which(df$hhcode == hhcode), -1] = na.omit(df)[na.omit(df)$hhcode == hhcode, -1]
}
df

A: df = data.frame(hhcode = c(rep(101010101, 5), rep(101010102, 5), rep(101010103, 5)),
                province = c(rep(c(rep(NA, 4), "punjab"), 2), c(rep(NA, 4), "sindh")),
                region = rep(c(rep(NA, 4), "urban"), 3))

First you generate a data.frame df_complete123 consisting only of complete cases in the first three columns (no NAs)
df_complete123 <- df[!is.na(df$province) & !is.na(df$region),]

It will look like this
hhcode      province  region
101010101   punjab    urban
101010102   punjab    urban
101010103   sindh     urban

Next you will use this as some kind of look-up table. First
indices <- match(df$hhcode, df_complete123$hhcode)

which will give you this
1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3

This means that the entries of the first column (hhcode) in df are found in the 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, ... -th row in df_complete123.
You use this to replace the values in 2nd and 3rd columns in df by those of df_complete123:
df$province <- df_complete123$province[indices]
df$region <- df_complete123$region[indices]

This results in
     hhcode province region
1  101010101   punjab  urban
2  101010101   punjab  urban
3  101010101   punjab  urban
4  101010101   punjab  urban
5  101010101   punjab  urban
6  101010102   punjab  urban
7  101010102   punjab  urban
8  101010102   punjab  urban
9  101010102   punjab  urban
10 101010102   punjab  urban
11 101010103    sindh  urban
12 101010103    sindh  urban
13 101010103    sindh  urban
14 101010103    sindh  urban
15 101010103    sindh  urban

Artists Who Rock: 8 Artist-Led Bands That Matter
By Christiana M. Tiches
"Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody/When I paint my masterpiece," sang Bob Dylan, and he wasn't just whistling dixie—a lifelong artist whose Fauvist painting adorned the cover of his 1970 album "Self-Portrait," the man who took music electric has had shows of his art at Gagosian and collaborated with Richard Prince. But while plenty of musicians like to dabble in painting—Joni Mitchell and Tony Bennett among them—it's nothing compared to the number of visual artists who find themselves compelled to put down their brushes, pick up an instrument, and rock out.
Herewith, a quick rundown of a few acclaimed artists who have put together prominent musical projects, either on their own or in bands. They may not have all achieved the same state of renown, but at least they were never at a loss for album art.
ARTISTS:Mike Kelley, Jim Shaw, Niagara (Lynn Rovner), and Cary Loren
SOUND: Full-on, face-melting heavy metal and experimental noise punk rock, created with the help of unconventional instruments from coffee cans and vacuum cleaners to occasional meows from lead singer Niagara
WHAT THEY DID: The ultimate band-cum-art-collective, Detroit group Destroy All Monsters had an impressive run from 1973 to 1985 but never achieved commercial success or even put out an actual record—though they did cross into the wider consciousness when members of the even more seminal Detroit bands the Stooges and MC5 joined the roster. CalArts graduates, Kelley and Shaw—who both became far more famous as fine artists—embellished the band's activities by making a Destroy All Monsters magazine that included student punk artwork. After the members parted ways, the band attained mythical stature: in 1994 Sonic Youth guitarist Thurston Moore released a three-disc album of their music that was accompanied by their art, and their documentary installation Strange Früt: Rock Apocrypha, which charted the history of Detroit's artistic grunge community in four mural-sized paintings that looked like classic freak show banners, was included in the 2002 Whitney Biennial.
KEY SONGS: "Bored," "Anyone Can Fuck Her," "You're Gonna Die"
ARTISTS:Lizzi Bougatsos and Brian DeGraw
MEMBERS: Lead vocalist Lizzi Bougatsos, keyboardist Brian DeGraw and drummer Tim DeWitt.
SOUND: Animal-blooded, heavily percussive synth rock with an Eastern influence, pierced through by Bougatsos's unique, high-pitched vocals
WHAT THEY DO: Formed in 2001 with DeGraw on keyboards and Tim DeWitt on drums, Gang Gang Dance released their first album in 2004—another occasional member, Nathan Maddox, was killed by lightning in 2002—and have released four more since then, the last of which, "Eye Contact," earned a stellar 8.5 ranking on Pitchfork. Both artists who work across multiple mediums, Bougatsos and DeGraw are both represented by James Fuentes Gallery, and when Bougatsos was included in the 2008 Whitney Biennial Gang Gang Dance played accompanying shows at the Park Avenue Armory. Bougatsos also plays in two other artist bands: I.U.D., with painter Sadie Laska (they frequently play at Brant Foundation parties), and Angelblood with artists Rita Ackermann and Jess Holzworth.
KEY SONGS: "God's Money," "MindKilla," "Glass Jar" (about Maddox), "Sacer" (about the late Dash Snow)
XXX MACARENA
ARTISTS: Tony Conrad, Jutta Koether, and John Miller (sometimes featuring Greg Parma Smith)
SOUND: Distorted, at times minimal instrumental music fusing Conrad's violin with Koether's Euro-inflected synths and Miller's looping guitar
WHAT THEY DO: A real thinking man's art supergroup, XXX Macarena unites three artistic visionaries who each come from a different corner of the art world—Conrad is a legend in avant-garde video and sound art (he made the landmark, epilepsy-inducing film The Flicker in 1966), Koether is a hypercerebral painter, and Miller is a multitalented artist and critic who teaches at Columbia. Together, they create badass music, and have released a record on curator and dealer Bob Nickas's From the Nursery label (it was recorded in the Kunsthalle Zürich). Koether also frequently collaborates with fellow artist-musicians Kim Gordon and Television's Tom Verlaine (she also played with the late artist Steven Parrino). Fun fact: it was Tony Conrad's copy of Michael Leigh's book The Velvet Underground that inspired the name of Lou Reed's band.
KEY SONGS: "Selling Short"
ARTIST: Kim Gordon
SOUND: The dictionary definition of free-form '90s noise rock, with metallic shrieks, copious fuzz, and the sounds of instruments being sadistically abused
WHAT THEY DID: Kim Gordon founded Sonic Young with Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo in 1981, forging one of the most iconic and influential alternative bands of the last 30 years, largely redefining the way a guitar can sound in rock music. But Gordon, a graduate of Los Angeles's Otis Art Institute, has art cred through and through: she started out working for Larry Gagosian's fledgling operation in L.A. in the 1970s, putting cheap frames around cheap posters so they could be sold at higher margins. (What was he like as a boss then? "He was mean. He yelled at us all the time. 'Faster, Faster!'" Gordon once said.) Making her own art—largely paintings—since the '80s, she has also written for Artforum and used her connections to engage famous artists to create Sonic Youth's album covers, most famously Gerhard Richter and Mike Kelley.
KEY SONGS: "Teen Age Riot," "Superstar," "Kool Thing," "Schizophrenia," "Incinerate"
THE X-PATSYS
ARTISTS:Robert Longo, Jon Kessler, and Fassbinder actress and muse Barbara Sukowa
SOUND: Eerie, Kurt Weill-indebted cabaret rock, let by Sukowa's sultry vocals and underpinned by the spiraling guitars of Kessler and her husband, Longo
WHAT THEY DO: In 1998, Kessler told Sukowa—a superstar German actress who was immortalized as Fassbinder's cynical lounge singer and prostitute Lola, and has won the best actress prize at Cannes—that he had a dream of her dressed in country-western garb and singing Patsy Cline songs. From this surreal vision was born both the band and its name. Commanding a loyal if somewhat bemused following, the X-Patsys typically play art venues like Issue Project Room, the Kitchen, and Performa biennial events.
KEY SONGS: A cover of Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces"
THE PRIMITIVES
ARTIST: Walter De Maria
SOUND: Think the Monkeys, but darker, with a touch of arty performance.
WHAT THEY DID: It's a funny story. So, when Lou Reed was just starting out, working as a songwriter for Pickwick Records in 1965, a producer at the company found himself in a jam: he had recorded a song under the name of a fake band called "the Primitives" that improbably became a hit, winning a slot on "American Bandstand"—which meant he needed to create a band to go on TV and play the song. Trying to pull together a convincing lineup, he recruited Reed, Tony Conrad, John Cale (who was playing in La Monte Young's Theatre of Eternal Music), and, on drums, the young Walter De Maria, who would go on to be a groundbreaking sculptor and land artist. They played on the show, did a few gigs on the East Coast, and were a total failure—except for the fact that it brought together Reed and Cale, who went on to start the Velvet Underground. De Maria also played briefly in the Druds, an avant-garde noise music band that featured La Monte Young on saxophone, the painter Larry Poons on guitar, artist Patty Mucha (then Oldenburg, married to Claes Oldenburg), lyrics by Jasper Johns, occasional vocals by Andy Warhol, and some participation by Lucas Samaras.
KEY SONGS: "The Ostrich," "The Human Centipede"
KORAKRIT ARUNANDCHAI
ARTIST: Korakrit Arunandchai
BAND NAME: Various
SOUND: Self-aware rap-pop, with pretend arena aspirations and savvy art-gallery realities
WHAT THEY DID: In a boy band that performed pop covers and gained some fame in southern Thailand, the Bangkok-born Arunandchai was called into one of country's major music labels and told that, while his band sucked, he had the looks to be a star. He ditched the band and began a semi-successful rap career, then came to New York to attend Columbia University, where he was mentored by the Thai artist Rirkrit Tiravanija. Since then, Arunandchai has developed a highly distinctive approach to art—denim and fire are his central motifs—that involves performances where he raps in head-to-toe acid-washed bluejeans amid coteries of fellow performers (sometimes including the art rapper Mykki Blanco and Jaki Doyka) who look like they stepped out of a Gap commercial, or Art Club 2000. It's incredibly entertaining. For his recent solo show at MoMA PS1, Arunandchai also performed alongside the Thai band the Bangkok Boys, along with his brother, Korapat, with the whole thing amounting to a cross between NSYNC and performance art.
KEY SONGS: "2011"
ARTIST:Ragnar Kjartansson
SOUND: Electro-punk with a cooling measure of smooth R&B and a touch of lounge, put in an experimental-music blender
WHAT THEY DID: Before he became one of Iceland's most acclaimed artists, Kjartansson was a legitimately successful pop star, providing lead vocals for the satire-tinged political punk band Trabant. Between 2001 and 2005, the group (with Viðar H. Gíslason on guitar and Gísli Galdur Þorgeirsson manning the DJ station) put out a very respectable four records, until Kjartansson began to focus on his art career. Since then, his signature blend of emotionally rich music, disarmingly connective human themes, and comedically self-effacing performance have given him a unique stature in contemporary art. He has represented Iceland in the 2011 Venice Biennale, won Performa's inaugural Malcolm Award for his 2011 performance Bliss (which entailed him and a cast singing the final aria from "The Marriage of Figaro" on repeat for 12 hours), received a New Museum show featuring musicians playing nonstop amid his art, and collaborated on durational performances with the National and Sigur Rós. He's also friends with Björk.
KEY SONGS: "Superman," "Pump You Up," "Nasty Boy," "Enter Spacebar"

Our parking lot surrounds our building, so we have many doors into our facility. At any of these doors you will find friendly greeters nearby ready to show you where to go to find our Bible Study Groups, Sanctuary, or any other areas.
Come as you are. Whether you're coming from work or home, our attire ranges from jeans and shorts to suits and dresses. We are happy to see you! We aren't concerned about your attire.
Worship - Our services typically begin with a time of worshiping God through song in many different styles. We believe that worship is a great way for the generations to come together, so we strive to put together our services in such a way that all generations find it worshipful. Our focus is on God, not any individual or their musical preferences. We utilize a praise band, choir, and a vocal praise team in most Sunday morning services.
Fellowship - In every service, you can expect to be greeted by our friendly church members before and after the service. We have a "connection card" in the pews racks. We ask that our guests or anyone with a new prayer request fill these out and put them in the offering plates when they are passed. We never ask our visitors to raise their hand or stand and introduce themselves. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible.
Offering - Every worship service includes a time of giving financially. This is a time set aside for our members to follow God's commands and give back to Him because He so faithfully gives to us. As a guest, we ask that you simply enjoy the music played during the offering time. You are not expected to give anything.
Message - Every service includes a time of Bible Study, typically led by our pastor, Bro. David Byrd. The Message will generally conclude with a time for people to respond based on what God is leading them to do. Some will come forward to pray at our altar where other people may come pray with you. During this time we also encourage people to come pray with one of our pastors about decisions regarding salvation or church membership.


Kathleen Marie "Kathy" Ireland (born March 20, 1963) is a former American model, actress, and entrepreneur. She is the CEO of her design and marketing eponymous brand product marketing company, kathy ireland Worldwide ("kiWW"), headquartered in Rancho Mirage, California. Many sources inaccurately portray the company as a retailing business; however, according to forbes.com the firm is a design and marketing company, which also acquires real estate for wedding and design studio purposes. As such, the core business of kiWW is licensing and real estate.
Kathy Ireland was born in 1963 in Glendale, California, the daughter of John Ireland, a labor union organizer, and Barbara Ireland, who worked in charity. At age 17, Ireland was "discovered" by an agent for the Elite Model Management company, and by the time she graduated from San Marcos High School (Santa Barbara, California) in 1981, she was working steadily as a model.
Starting in 1984, Ireland was featured in the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for 13 consecutive years, with her final appearance in 1996. In addition to her long tenure within the pages, Ireland appeared on the cover of the annual issue three times, a feat tied by Christie Brinkley and Cheryl Tiegs and surpassed only by Elle Macpherson (with five appearances). Ireland was the cover model for the first time on the 25th Anniversary Swimsuit Edition, which became SI's best selling swimsuit issue to date. She returned to the cover in 1992 and in 1994. In her third appearance, she was accompanied by Rachel Hunter and Elle Macpherson; notably, both Hunter and Ireland were pregnant at the time.

An 18ft long Oarfish has been found dead off the shore of southern California by Marine Biologist Jasmine Santana. The rarely seen Oarfish is said to be the likely culprit of many Sea Serpent legends from sailors and deep sea fishermen.
Oarfish have been reported to grow up to 15 meters in length, but the longest recorded and verified is 9 meters long. Rare fish such as these are almost impossible to catch using any sort of fishing tackle as they can dive up to more than 3,000 feet (914 meters) in depth. Because of this sightings are rare and these magnificent fish are largely unstudied.
Jasmine was snorkeling with colleagues when she spotted an unusual shimmer from the ocean floor. As she approached what looked to be a half-dollar sized eye starting at her from the sandy bottom, the uncertainty that the fish was dead dawned upon her, but slowly and cautiously making her way towards the prehistoric looking creature it was distinctly lifeless.
After taking a closer look Jasmine discovered it was indeed the carcass of an Oarfish, the first she has ever seen and a discovery of a lifetime for the Catalina Island Marine Institute (CIMI) employee.
She dragged the eel-like beast from the sea for more than 20 meters until fifteen other adults waded into the sea to help her bring it ashore.
Oarfish are a deep-water pelagic fish and the longest bony fish in the world, according to CIMI. This one measuring a staggering 5 meters in length. Mark Waddington, senior captain of the Tole Mour, CIMI's sail training ship, said "We've never seen a fish this big! The last Oarfish we saw at CIMI was just three feet long".
The fate of the carcass is still being decided, but Waddington would prefer the fish to be burred in sand until it decomposes and the skeleton cleaned naturally before being reconstructed for display. The fish apparently died of natural causes.
